NBA YoungBoy brings MASA tour to Barclays Center with last‑minute ticket rush

NBA YoungBoy’s Make America Slime Again tour is rolling into Brooklyn this weekend, with Barclays Center hosting the 25-year-old rapper on Saturday, Sept. 27, as part of a cross-country trek that has kept fans buzzing for months. The stop at the Nets’ home court marks a high-profile moment for a tour that has already traversed much of the United States and continues through fall with a packed slate of dates.

Tickets for last-minute buyers are available at a range of price points. The lowest price found at the time of publication was $190, including fees, on Vivid Seats. Floor-level seats start at about $831, also including fees, offering a closer view of YoungBoy’s energetic stage show. For fans who can’t make Brooklyn, he’s slated to play Newark’s Prudential Center on Monday, Sept. 29, where tickets can be found for as little as $139, including fees. These price points come as the rapper and his team continue to fill arenas with a production that has become a hallmark of the MASA tour.

The Barclays Center concert will feature a rotating lineup of special guests who join YoungBoy on stage for portions of the show. In Brooklyn, fans can expect appearances by Offset, Toosii, DeeBaby, Mellow Rackz and Lil Dump, with NoCap notably not performing at the Barclays date. The collaboration-heavy bill underscores YoungBoy’s ongoing appeal across his peers and fans alike, expanding the experience beyond a single artist’s catalog.

Industry observers note that YoungBoy’s live sets are known for their length and breadth. Historically, he has delivered sets that can run close to a full 50-song catalog, weaving in tracks from across his prolific output. The Source, reflecting on a Sept. 6 performance in Houston, described the show as one where the arena “was literally shaking” as bass and visuals synced with the tempo, and noted that the crowd has included a broad demographic—from teens to parents—highlighting the universal reach of his music. While the exact tracklist varies by city, the artist’s recent live repertoires have featured a mix of his biggest hits and newer material.

Beyond Brooklyn, the MASA tour map is expansive. A full calendar of dates and venues shows YoungBoy moving from Columbus to Boston, Newark, Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit and beyond, with multiple stops clustered in October and November. The breadth of the tour reflects the demand for his live show and the concert circuit’s appetite for high-profile hip-hop acts on the road this year.

New releases this year also frame the tour’s momentum. Kentrell DeSean Gaulden—YoungBoy’s given name—has followed a steady stream of new material with “Deshawn” (Aug. 12, 2025), “MASA” (July 25, 2025) and “More Leaks” (March 7, 2025). These drops anchor a live experience that European and North American audiences have repeatedly cited as immersive and high-energy, with the MASA tour serving as a platform to spotlight both new songs and fan favorites.

Special guests vary by city, but the Brooklyn lineup aligns with the tour’s pattern of partnering with artists who can complement YoungBoy’s catalog. Offset’s presence brings a crossover appeal from one of hip-hop’s most recognizable acts, while Toosii, DeeBaby, Mellow Rackz and Lil Dump each bring a distinct set of tracks that sit alongside YoungBoy’s own catalog. The collaboration approach mirrors the broader 2025 hip-hop touring landscape, where multi-artist shows offer a broader spectrum of sound and audience engagement.

For fans deciding when and where to buy, the price landscape at Barclays and other MASA stops is subject to change. Last-minute deals can fluctuate with demand, and listings may update as showtime approaches. The New York Post’s coverage notes the prices listed for Barclays and Newark are snapshots tied to the publication time, with the caveat that tickets may come with added fees at checkout or differ from face value based on market conditions. In short: if you’re hoping to catch YoungBoy this fall, it’s wise to monitor listings closely and act quickly when a favorable price appears.

The MASA tour’s Brooklyn date sits within a broader trend of major hip-hop icons taking to the road in 2025. Industry observers anticipate continued high demand for live performances from marquee artists such as Lil Wayne, Kevin Gates, Playboi Carti, Earl Sweatshirt and Doechii, all of whom have been on or announced tours this year. The MASA trek itself is presented as a centerpiece of YoungBoy’s live offerings, with the Brooklyn show serving as a pivotal stop for fans in the Northeast who have followed his career from breakout tracks to his most recent studio projects.

As fans prepare for the show, it's worth noting the tour’s emphasis on a full, immersive concert experience. In addition to the music, the production elements—bass-heavy sound design and dynamic lighting—have been repeatedly highlighted by critics and attendees in reviews of recent performances. For those planning to attend, organizers and venue staff recommend arriving early to navigate security checks and to maximize time in the arena before doors open.
